"The AI Challenge: Maintaining the Ability to Reason in an Automated World"

As a lawyer with a deep passion for #Blockchain and #ArtificialIntelligence, throughout my participation in legal and academic debates, I've reflected on a growing concern that I want to share.

Over the centuries, technologies have transformed our lives, improving essential aspects such as communication and health, and pushing us toward new ways of living. These advances have been crucial to the progress of society.

However, today we are experiencing an unprecedented change: a technology that can generate responses based on patterns. The shocking thing is that this once novel tool has become commonplace, promising immediate results.

At first, this seems positive. AI-based tools reduce the time we spend on everyday tasks, which seems like a benefit.

But the worrying thing is that, behind this promise of time savings, many have begun to delegate everything to technology, unquestioningly accepting the output of a machine as the final solution.

In some contexts this may be acceptable, but in professional practice, especially in my work as a lawyer, we are losing something fundamental: our ability to debate, reason, and reach our own conclusions.

Good ideas and profound discussions emerge from complex mental processes, and we're letting machines do that work for us, simplifying the way we process information.

If we don't formulate solid arguments, the algorithms will decide for us, and we'll start thinking the same way.

We've become attached to the idea that "AI saves time," and under this premise, many professionals and students prefer to focus on immediate results without questioning the processes behind them.

AI shouldn't replace human thought, but rather enhance it. Using it wisely is the key.

That's why, in my AI training programs, for both lawyers and corporate teams, I start with the essentials: ethics, judgment, and responsible use. I teach how to design questions based on personal reasoning, not predetermined ones. Only then can we validate the results AI offers. This is the purpose of my classes.

And perhaps the biggest challenge is teaching my six-year-old daughter the value of this process. AI will be a part of her life, but what must never be lost is the ability to think and construct arguments.
